Escape from Prison with Angelic Assistance – Circa AD 1965 – Alberto Rivera

GUATEMALA 1965

“HOW CAN I PREACH LIFE TO YOU WHEN I AM DEAD, AND THE SYSTEM I SERVE SMELLS OF DEATH FROM THE CONFESSIONALS, TO MARY TO PURGATORY, TO MASS AND TO THE PRIESTHOOD WHICH ALL DENY THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST?”

“HOW CAN I SPEAK OF LIFE, WHEN I’VE LIED TO YOU, INFILTRATED AND DESTROYED YOUR CHURCHES? YOU THINK THIS ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT MEANS LOVE AND UNITY, BUT IN REALITY IT WILL BRING ABOUT YOUR DEATH… BECAUSE I AM NOT YOUR BROTHER!”

“RIVERA MUST BE STOPPED!”

“HOW DO WE SHUT HIM UP?”

AFTER THE MEETING THEY FLEW ME BACK TO PANAMA. FROM THERE I WAS SHIPPED TO SPAIN.

“RIVERA IS ASLEEP!”

“HE’LL PAY FOR WHAT HE DID!”

THIS WAS TO BE THE DARKEST TIME OF MY LIFE. THROUGH SEVERE DISCIPLINE THEY TRIED TO CHANGE MY MIND.

BARCELONA, SPAIN

AFTER MONTHS OF FAILTURE THIS WAS THEIR LAST RESORT.

“WHAT IS THIS PLACE?”

“IT’S A SECRET PLACE FOR PRIESTS WHO HAVE GONE INSANE!”

“O MY GOD!”

THE HOLY OFFICE HAD JUDGED ME GUILTY OF HERESY THROUGH INSANITY.

“RECANT, RIVERA AND MAKE PUBLIC YOUR CONFESSIONS! THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH!... THE HOLY MOTHER ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!

“I HATE THEM ALL! I HATE EVERYTHING!”

I WAS IN A PADDED CELL FOR DAYS WITHOUT WATER OR FOOD. I HAD TO SIGN HUNDREDS OF *DOCUMENTS AND ANSWER PSYCHOLOGICAL QUESTIONS.

(*PAPERS AND FORMS)

AT NIGHT I WAS SO HEAVILY DRUGGED, I COULDN’T SLEEP. I WAS SICK AND TOTALLY WORN OUT.

AFTER 2 WEEKS OF BRUTAL QUESTIONING I LOST HOPE. I SAID TO MY TORMENTORS…

“WHEN ALL THOSE CATHOLICS DIE WHO WE’VE LIED TO… AND THEY GO TO HELL, WHAT DO WE SAY TO THEM? THAT PIECE OF STONE CANNOT SAVE THEM. MARY HERSELF SAID, ‘WHATEVER HE (JESUS) SAYS, DO!’ WHAT WE’VE SAID ABOUT HER IS LIES… THE BIBLE PROVES THAT!

“SHUT UP, RIVERA. YOU’RE TALKING LIKE A PROTESTANT!”

“YOU’RE THE ONLY DEVIL HERE! YOU ARE TRYING TO DESTROY OUR FAITH IN OUR BLESSED MOTHER, THE VIRGIN MARY! I COULD CUT YOUR @!!” THROAT RIVERA!”

“YOU THINK YOU’RE KILLING FOR GOD… BUT YOU’RE DOING IT FOR THE DEVIL. BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF SATAN!”

I WAS GIVEN SHOCK TREATMENTS AND HEAVY DRUGS. AFTER TWO MONTHS MY BLADDER WAS INFECTED. ALL MY SENSES WERE GOING.

BY THE THIRD MONTH, MY BREATHING STOPPED. I WAS PLACED IN AN IRON LUNG. I SAW MY MOTHER’S DEATH ALL OVER AGAIN, AND I KNEW I WAS IN THE SAME POSITION. I WAS CONFUSED WITH FEAR. I KNEW I WAS GOING TO HELL.

IN THE BLACKEST HOUR, THE LORD JESUS CAME TO ME, AND WITH THIS SCRIPTURE HE GAVE ME LIFE…

“THEN SAID JESUS TO THE JEWS WHICH BELIEVED ON HIM. IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD, THEN ARE YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED; AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.” JOHN 8:31,32

I ASKED JESUS TO FORGIVE ME. IMMEDIATELY LIFE FLOODED THROUGH MY BODY. HE SAVED ME AND HEALED ME AT THE SAME INSTANT. I WAS FREE AT LAST!

GOD’S LOVE HIT ME FULL FORCE WHEN I REALIZED THAT JESUS CHRIST IS JEHOVAH, THE *CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY AND ISRAEL’S MESSIAH.

*JOHN 1:10, HEBREWS 1:1,2

BECAUSE OF HIS OBEDIENCE TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER HE WENT TO THE CROSS AND SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD TO WASH AWAY OUR SINS… HE PAID A TERRIBLE PRICE.

For God (the Father) so loved the world (that’s you), that He gave His only begotten Son (God the Son, Jesus), that whosoever believeth (clings to or trusts) in Him should not perish (in the lake of fire), but have everlasting life (in heaven). John 3:16

NO ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST COULD EVER CALL JESUS CHRIST FROM HEAVEN TO REPEAT THIS HORRIBLE ACT OF SUFFERING AS THEY CLAIM THROUGH THE MASS.

THE BIBLE CLEARLY TELLS US, “BUT THIS MAN (CHRIST), AFTER HE HAD OFFERED ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS FOREVER, SAT DOWN ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD (IN HEAVEN).” HEB. 10:12

WE NO LONGER NEED PRIESTS OR CONFESSIONALS BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS:

14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:14-16

The Bible says:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

So we can go straight to Jesus. Thank God!

I CLIMBED OUT OF THE IRON LUNG AND REMOVED THE TUBES FROM MY BODY.

“WHO TOOK YOU OUT OF THE IRON LUNG?”

“JESUS DID! HE’S GIVEN ME NEW LIFE!”

“I’LL GET A STRAIGHT JACKET!”

ONE WEEK LATER I WAS RELEASED. I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. I WAS SENT TO MADRID BY MYSELF.

“FATHER RIVERA?”

“YES!”

WAITING FOR ME WAS A JESUIT PRIEST WHO WAS A WATCHDOG FROM THE VATICAN… THEIR MOST TRUSTED MAN. HE HATED THE GROUND I WALKED ON.

HE WORKED ON ME FOR DAYS USING EVERY JESUIT METHOD HE COULD TO PULL ME BACK TO SERVE THE POPE. I KEPT TELLING HIM HOW I GOT SAVED, AND SHOWED HIM THE TRUTH IN THE BIBLE.

THE WORD OF GOD TOUCHED HIS HEART.

TO MY SHOCK HE GAVE ME MY PASSPORT AND THE PAPERS* I NEEDED TO LEAVE SPAIN.

*(SEE P.27)

“ALBERTO, LEAVE THIS PRISON AT ONCE AND DON’T EVER COME BACK! I BELIEVE CHRIST HAS LIGHTED YOUR PATH. FOLLOW HIM, ALBERTO! PRAY FOR ME… DON’T WRITE. JUST PRAY FOR ME.”

THAT NIGHT I FLEW OUT OF SPAIN WITH ABOUT 40 CENTS IN MY POCKET. I HAD BROKEN AWAY FROM THE SYSTEM.

THE VATICAN WAS STUNED. THEY COULDN’T BELIEVE THAT I ESCAPED FROM THEM. AND NOW MY LIFE WAS TOTALLY CHANGED TO SERVE THE LORD.
